access a person's location and upload data. There is advertising tracking which allows

Bing: "Apple Says iOS 8 Update Keeps Data Private, Even From the Police"
Both search engines produced results, however, Google Chrome is better and returned
more results that were directly related to my search. Bing's results were not very specific and
only related to one aspect of what I was looking for. I prefer Chrome because of the speed. Bing
didn't load as quickly.

6. The journal articles were not easy to find and the results were not closely related to what
I was looking for. On the other hand, there were millions of internet articles targeting

web. The internet articles were as recent as 3 days ago while the journals were a few
months to years old. Authority is established throughout all the articles.
